Ah, I deserved it! I stood out in the cold rain for 2 hours the year before when the -22 was scheduled but didn't show due to rain!

Wow...where was that at??
That was at the 2006 Toronto International Air Show. They didn't even announce that the -22 would be a no show, a bunch of us just waited, and waited, and when the Snowbirds flew (they always close the show) we knew it wasn't going to happen.
The 2007 show, however, was awesome and in perfect weather. The -22 performed all three days (I believe) and I went for 2 of them.

| Cool...Something else must have happened because they will operate in the rain. Maybe the schedule changed and they were not notified. Wish I could have been at the 07 show...I also heard the weather at that show was awesome. |

Just found this little movie from the F-16C demo flown last summer at Le Bourget. In fact the demo was flown by one of Lockheed Martins test pilots. Just look what a great difference their is between his demo and the regular USAF demo. Just imagine how the Raptor would perform in the hands of these pilots and what a great impression it would be for the US taxpayers.

The Raptor Demo Teams schedule is out and on their website. I have seen the demo, and a video of this amazing demonstration is available here:

I apologize for the quality, as the weather condition (Wind and temperature) was extremely bad that day. |
